>>736436594idk what is this, it looks like a necron from wh40k
>>736436594time to digest nutrience from this yummy meat meal
>>736436594Seems chill, my stormhouse is open to all humans, come on in!
>>736436594Is it true that there was some breakthrough in Kenshi modding that Changed Everything(tm) or is it uniquely a good time to reinstall?
>>736437270Isn't the 2nd game coming out 'soon'?
>>736436594I thought about trying this but I am not super autistic
>>736437467It's just post-apocalyptic sims 3
>>736436594>"The air smells good in my nostrils today, don't you agree?"
>>736437604Thats why I am interested! But all the raiding and settlement stuff scares me
>>736437197>time to digest nutrience from this yummy meat meal
>>736437753You don't HAVE to build a settlement. Just buy a house in town.
>>736437753yea too bad its like dark souls with only one difficulty setting and no sandbox options at all
>"The metal freak looks grotesque to my human eyeballs!"
>>736437270https://youtu.be/AM6faPF4NKA?si=o_2hCz7kUOAMOtpzI'm tempted to go again just for rotating inventory but that's really the only thing I care about so if that isn't a big deal to you then wait for more interesting mods in the future I guess.
>>736437128Kenshi robots. Some of them do the same thing as the Flayed ones from 40K
>>736438142There was some shit about load times in there too and i dont know if it was simply just changing zones or just an across the board reduction in cpu load making everything go smoother
>>736437412It's been coming out Soon™ for almost a decade.
>>736436594>Hours 1~20>Lol stupid okranoids thinking there is skinwalker skeletons how ignorant and religious luddite-pilled>Hours 100~150>Aw shit there actually is skeletons that try to wear human skin and all tech is controlled by (((skelebergs))), (although why HN seemingly allows World's End to exist with skeletons and forbidden tech right next door to their capital is a real head scratcher)>Hours 200+>Oh wait skeletons are based after all
Kenshi lore is interesting but the writing is terrible
>>736438820It's terrible in a charming "this seems like it was written by a teenager making a totally not fantasy d&d session for his friends in moms basement" way.I'd much prefer honest cringe over sterile committee-designed "marketable" based.
>>736436594How do you do fellow humans
>>736436594do i need to like cbt to get into kenshi?
>>736438671its hidden in the mountains and guarded by swagged out tech hunters they can't do shit
>>736439814>>736437935>>736436594can you play as one of these
>>736440384They're just regular skeletons wearing the "skinsuit" armor which you can loot and wear yourself if you want
Reminder that the Holy Nation is right about everything
>>736440535They're only right by accident at this point, if they ever knew the real history behind their mantras it's long since been forgotten
>>736438671the world of kenshi being at least 100x larger than its depicted game.can you imagine the logistical nightmare it would be to try and crusade in some acid raining shithole that has literally nothing to eat or scavenge?
>>736437270yeah we have a script extender now
>>736436594I agree, the air does smell good in your nostrils
>>736437270until there's a mod that allows me to fuck my harem of slaves, i will not play again
>>736440384You can play as a skeleton but can't remember if you can join the skin bandits
>>736436594>do anything you want game>if what you want is sweatshops, mining and shitty base buildingSandbox is just a poor excuse to not actually design a videogame, its the gamedev equivalent of loading gm_construct and spawning some metro cops around corners
>>736441630It's a game about fighting. What were you expecting?
>>736436594AYO, where the wd40 at fellow skeleton. Beep and boop my rigger?
>>736441517you can "join" any faction by getting rep high enough that they're friendly to you, usually by bandaging them or freeing them from slavery
>"Today's exchange may have served a little to right your course"
>>736441630> loading gm_construct and spawning some metro cops around cornersSo… just do that, then?
>>736441953Being completely naked isn't an excuse to not have your holy book with you, brother, but I'll overlook it this time.
>>736441953horrific
>>736441953Good day Mr. T...obot.
damn really gotta get my modded kenshi install up and running again
>>736436594finding out these freaks in the wild without knowing anything about them the first time I played was surrealand seeing a group of them heading to my base was the scariest shit I've experienced in that game
>>736442357>Oh look there's hivers and they're not fogmen down here too. Nice, hopefully there's a trade hive somewhere down this fresh hell part of the worl->OH FUCK>OH FUCKING HELL
>>736442502why is it so small
>>736438142>>736441282Holy shitI might actually make mods for kenshi now
>woah, robots that steal your skin, drug contraband, slavery, regicide, mass murder>I think I'm going to be a slavist, beat people up and force them to work for me>uhm, no! you cannot hecking do that! try any of the other un-moral things, anything but slavery!
>>736442540They're actually very far away so I don't aggro them.
>>736437412devs went woke and productivity plummeted. Many such cases.
>>736436594https://files.catbox.moe/24mzue.jpgOnly by having humans activity can they protect themselves from the ashes...will you help her?If you refuse you get skinned
>>736438142Nice
>>736443107AIGIS PUT ON SOME CLOTHES. PLEASE.
>>736438142Cool and all but it seems the inventory slots it can create are the ones supposed to be in the game but disabled, if I understood it correctly. Meaning it can't create new ones from scratch. I also don't get what it means by layered inventory items. Say you want to wear a googles under your hat, it leaves the hat alone and creates the eye slot or does it allow for combining hat and googles into one item and equipping that? Cause for the first approach we will still be limited the by the inventory slots available, you just pushed that limitation a couple of slots further.I'm also interested in what it can do for combat, levelling and custom skills, but it seems there isn't anything like that yet.
>>736442734Implementation of slavery is a bit strange in a game that already gives you mindless automaton characters that do everything you say. You can put them in shackles and shit though for the larp, but the real issue I have with the game is there's no way to auto-feed prisoners
>>736443107>tfw no tinman gf
>>736442502I love these little goobers like you wouldn't believe
>>736443378what we need is a salary system for random bar hirelings. The game's economy sucks ass because you don't have to be concerned with labor cost. your niggas work for free. Compared this to Mount and Blade, where soldiers are salaried so the gameplay loop is about making enough money to cover the next payday.
>>736443395>tfw no Kenshi gf
>>736443378>game that already gives you mindless automaton characters that do everything you saySo why can't you do that to defeated enemies that aren't dead? The video game mechanic is there, the code is there, the in-universe setting is there. Sounds like the indie dev just doesn't want to implement it for moral reasons. But you can totally join an anti slavery faction of freed slaves, which reinforces the view that the real reason is that he opposes it, more than code or engine limiting factors.
>>736443378>but the real issue I have with the game is there's no way to auto-feed prisonersFence them around a resource node and lock them in with a food barrel via mods. That way you can starve out the weaker ones to use as food for the remainder. Say every time they dredge up 200 copper give them five cooked meat. Keeps the slave economy going and gives your bonedogs something to chew on.
>>736443529>send gf out to get milk>comes back with a speeding ticket
>>736436594Why am I seeing kenshi everywhere lately?
>>736436594Workin' Hard or Hardly Workin?
>>736442734Morality is a spook
>>736436594The only good part of this game was the fact that it let you create quadruple amputee cyborg girls with abs.If Kenshi 2 doesn't facilitate that, I'm not going to fucking play it, simple as that.
>>736443586freeing slaves is also half baked, half the time they just stand there forever until something walks up to kill them. Slaves mining rocks also don't produce anything, it's all just a facade because having an actual system was too much work
>>736443904I'll never forgive him or trust him again after he skittered like a roach directly at me in pitch black darkness while I had my NVGs on.
>>736444415You think he feels regret?
>>736438671>Oh wait skeletons are based after allreal and truthpilled
>>736444415man sometimes i wish this game had some form of permanet npc outised of named ones wish some random npc that you save 10h ago would show up again an thank you with some supplies or money or create some sort of rivolory with some random npc that shows up from time to time
>>736444471He's a kenshi character. The only thing he feels is hunger. They'll lose a fucking arm and keep assuming combat stance.
Is Kenshi worth a get?
>>736443679>got caughtSounds like she wasn't going fast enough.
>No Total Overhaul that actually changes the mapWon't happen, but a man can wish
>>736444635something real primal about the way a limbless character wriggles about on the floor>>736444789>89evidently not
>>736444789It's pretty fun yeah
So any tips for starting a settlement or base?
How do I force myself out of a playthrough where I build an inpenetrable base and then have 3 squads (1 expendable fodder squad that charges in to soften up the enemy, 1 medic squad to retreive survivors, 1 elite squad that goes into finish them off)?
>>736436594These guys and fogmen are genuinely horrifying. How did one single britbong manage to create such twisted kino like Kenshi?
>>736444945start it up in the fog islands
>>736444945Make sure you have a group of capable fighters because you WILL get attacked
>>736444945first buy a building inside of a city and use that for all of your researchonly start building once you're ready to have people showing up on your doorstep who want to assrape youwhere you build will determine who visits
>>736444789Its fantastic. Its a sandbox. Do your own thing.Hunt bounties. Build bases. Befriend beep. Be a skin bandit. Get enslaved.
I remember playing a thief in this game and robbing homes at night in the religious city then Naruto running across the desert
>>736444789like any sandbox, it's for a certain kind of autism only, do you like the sims? no? would you like the sims if it had combat?
>>736444945Build in beak thing central so beak things can rape all your "visitors".
>>736445002There’s a bunch of fucked up stuff, once I came across a farm of preachers which looked peaceful then they crucified me and start hacking my limbs. In addition I did not know that depending by on if your squad mates race you can have an entire settlement attack you which makes for an interesting playstyle since the worst locations can become a haven to some.But the most unique aspect for me are the Hive queens, they’re not actually hivers but bio machines that exist to just pump out babies and are harmlessly insane.>>736444829There’s really no point in making a massive overhaul mod for Kenshi since the game is very unstable and especially when there’s a sequel in the works everyone would rather wait for the sequel and then start the massive mods.
russian kenshi autist feels kino coming troughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsvvu1B_S74
>>736437753I have like 150 hours in Kenshi and I've never spent 1 second doing the settlement stuff. I exclusively play the game as a bounty hunter RPG and my run ends either when I die or when I collect every boss bounty in the game.
I have the compulsion to build a large roving band of fighters but then they eventually grow so large that i cant feed them with whatever food the bars in the main cities can provide so im forced to settle down and make a base with a farm but then im tied down to the settlement and it feels weirdIf raiders don't actually raid completely unoccupied bases because the slice of the world isn't loaded in, should i have just had several different bases all over the continent that my warband moves between or what
>>736446653it's not that the base isn't loaded it's that they only raid when there's someone there to attack
>>736446047Settlements in Kenshi are a noob trap, it’s just endless grinding until event finally destroys your base. Just buy a house in the city and enjoy exploring the world
so why do they wear the skin?
>>736447096>Just buy a house in the city and enjoy exploring the worldyay
Tell me about Shek mommies, do they make good slaves?
>>736447645wouldn't know, the player can't do that
>>736437808He really is a lizard creature, isn't he?
>>736444945Do it in Gutt (blue area south of the Great Desert)
How big a size do those skinsuits come in?
>>736436594>try to play humans>get bored immediately, no matter what I try (tried being holy faggot, downloaded mods and larped as jewelry shop)>set up some retarded colony of hivers, playthrough lasts for good 100 hours, constant fuck ups and dead bugs still enjoyable >play skellyman despite every redditor telling me how "difficult" it is being one, find it thr most meta pick of all races, play solo kungfu master, peel holy nation leaders, plunge UC into full yellow turban revolt, retire in black desert >play as Shek, make custom scenario with faction flags and backstory, 200 hour playthrough, Shek Kingdom emerges victorious maybe I will make custom scenario with rebel farmers and set them up as allies otherwise I am out of ideas how not to get bored playing as greenlanders or desert niggas
>>736444945Build near holy nation so they can protect your ass as long you attend their prayer and also good soil for farmland too.
>>736448771>despite every redditor telling me how "difficult" it is being oneI guess it'd be difficult if it was your first playthrough and you didn't know your way around
>>736448758are they still alive?
>>736449405Some still twitch yesOr maybe thats a mod i cant remembagh
>>736448771Reclaim Stobes Lands for humans as a scorchlander, the canon inhabitants
sell me on Kenshi as an un-insecure guy with nothing to prove to anybody.
The UI hasn't aged well, even with Dark UI
>>736448771Hopefully the new mods allow for proper politics and allying with the shek mommydom to take over the moon.
>>736448758there is cut content, race which is called "whistler"some modders restored the race with the backstory, for all purposes they are skeletonsmaybe at some point these skeletons had organic shell of sorts
>>736448771Cat-lon did nothing wrong
>>736449841>picfreakyread a little on the internet about this, was she meant to be giant?
>>736449841Looks straight out of Doom 3.
>>736449926he never understood the human nature despite his best efforts to make amends and help humans his madness consumed his fellow skeletons too when humanity rebelled against his tyrannythat being said his empire is defacto Rome of kenshi>coins minted in his image still used>all the blueprints and research date back to his empire>ruins of the empire scattered throughout the Moon>>736450202I have no idea, the mod paints her as NARKO (holy nation version of Satan) and some sort of subordinate under catlon who removed her head as a way of compliance, hence her lnly way of communication "whistling"
>>736450402Sounds similar to the stobe shenanigans out east, probably some robit trying to tard wrangle her local degens and got villiafied for it and instead of giving up doubled down to the point that local religions still fear her
>Put a guy who knows literally nothing about farming in charge of agriculture>"Look guys, the famine just sorta happened. It's not my fault, I swear."
So what was Stobe's gamble?
>>736451056Punching a missile really really hard.
>>736450845it is a whole rabbit hole of speculation and I slightly misspoke perhaps Lucifer would be more apt Greenlanders are pretty interesting when it comes to their history, you can find some old books in their chapels mentioning Chitrin how original Okranite belief wasn't as drastic (technology was okay in moderation)>>736451056again speculation, in broad strokes>fuckhuge war between 2 ancient Empires, one super good at robotics other at viral warfare >Robotic empire wins with giant robots, most giants get slagged (most likely voluntary process), small skeletons believe it was done out of fear by humans>another war, humans lose, a final fuck you nuclear warhead is sent to render kenshi into ball of dust along with robots and what little remained of humanity, Stobe the last of the giant robots stops ithe is the skeleton jesus
>>736450315It does
>>736444945have turrets and fighters to ass rape the inevitable attackers from day one yes that's actually how the game works
>>736451056Shepherding humans through the canyons and to Ark to save them from extinction. He was gambling on putting all of his remaining eggs in one basket and then died protecting them before he could ever see humanity come back from the brink.
>>736444945Yeah, don't. Or if you have to, just buy a house
>>736438142>10 minute videoDropped
>>736437747Lol
>>736450845so you're saying that I need to give her the D before she turns insane in order to safe her
>>736448758Creepy
>>736453353actually worth a watch just to see how much better the load times gotyou can always just readhttps://github.com/BFrizzleFoShizzle/RE_Kenshi/wiki/RE_Kenshi-Featuresand search "rekenshi" on steam workshop to see the plugins this allowshttps://github.com/Lucius64/KenshiExtensionPlugin/wiki/Featurespicrel is actually hugeit fixes the weird armor stacking bug that has ruined the game since release
>>736444635I like how kenshi characters just don't feel fear.>inb4 play deadThey're just re-evaluating how to take revenge and kill you later.
